If there is one thing I’m known for, it’s my empathy for all my fellow humans and all living things in general. I should share some examples to show you all how much better of a person I am.
I ran into a co-worker that thanks to a fall and concussion, now has to wear all red goggles to block the light. “Wow, Cyclops, don’t fall again. Your glasses may fall off and you’ll blow a hole in the wall. At least Magneto won’t attack now that you’re here.” See how I bring laughs to the situation? Well, I did for me and that’s what’s important.
My dad brought his new puppy over and my 12 year old dog got up, obviously jealous of the attention. “Hey, my replacement dog is here!” My dog began hopping around like an ass in desperation. He may actually be smarter than I thought.
A young man showed up on my doorstep with a petition. “Sir, I was wondering if you would sign this petition?” What is it for? “We must raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.” $15? That sounds pretty high. I’m all for a fair wage, but that radical of a change actually can be counter productive, because the price of goods rises, which makes the wage less effective. Plus employers cut hours or hire less people, so it’s something to think about. “Well, sir, that’s where you’re wrong!” I cut him off – Let me give you a tip, if you want someone to sign a petition, you shouldn’t tell them they’re wrong. Good luck with your petition; get the hell off my porch. He stared at me as I slammed the door in his face. In all honesty, I probably would have shut the door in his face no matter what.
